Club career

He was the most promising goalkeeper in Bosnia and Herzegovina, he played for youth selections and was later transferred to Austrian side Vorwärts Steyr.

In 2003, he signed a contract with Željezničar. Here he found good form and even became first choice goalkeeper for the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team.
